Rufus’ POV
I felt a headache coming on, but I had no choice. It wasn’t easy for Sylvia to find something that she would enjoy, and I didn’t want to disappoint her.
“Let her be. I’ll talk to my father.”
“Yes, sir,” Maya said with a nod and turned to leave. “Wait!” I exclaimed, causing Maya to stop in her tracks and turn back to look at me. “What do women like to do nowadays?”
“Well, judging from Miss Todd’s personality, I don’t think she likes shopping like most girls. I think she likes flowers and plants, though. She also likes to do handicrafts and read military books. Playing games together could also strengthen your bond with her, Prince Rufus. Maybe you should try it sometime when you’re free.” she smiled. “Oh, and she likes furry animals the most, too! One time, we saw a stray cat in the palace garden, and she played with the cat for the whole afternoon.”
Sylvia really did love furry animals. When we were together in private, she always liked to touch my wolf’s tail and ears.
I thought about what Maya said for a while. Then, I asked her to go to the royal pet hospital and bring a cat back. I also told her to prepare a gamepad and download the most popular games. I didn’t want Sylvia to be bored while she was alone.
“Also, I want you to prepare some food that Sylvia likes. She’s probably depressed right now, and she eats when she feels upset.”
I subconsciously let out a smile as I said that. I couldn’t wait to go back and see her.
Maya nodded. She went silent for a while before she cautiously asked, “Prince Rufus, how long are you going to lock Miss Todd up? If you keep her locked up, I’m afraid that she’ll drift farther and farther away from you.” I didn’t say a word. My heart felt heavy as I watched the glass of water on the table. I was really mad, and I just wanted to give her a little punishment. I didn’t plan to lock her up for long at first.
But then, I realized that locking her up wasn’t as bad as it seemed. I wanted her to stay in the palace and let her live under my protection for the rest of her life.
I couldn’t stand her running away from me again.
“Miss Todd loves her freedom, and she doesn’t like to be restrained. I think her escape will be inevitable if you keep this up,” Maya added, her voice slowly becoming lower.
“You can leave now,” I interrupted with a frown. I didn’t want to hear anything like that from her anymore.
“Y-Yes, sir,” Maya stammered. She seemed to realize that she had said something wrong and soon left in a panic.
After she left, I sat in the meeting room, alone. I didn’t know how long it had been, but when my surroundings were completely shrouded in darkness, I snapped out of it, lit a cigarette, and held it between my lips.
My mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts, but I still didn’t know what to do with Sylvia.
When I went back to the palace, it was already evening, and the hall was brightly lit. The star-shaped lights looked dazzling in the garden, but unfortunately, the only person I longed to see wasn’t on the swing.
I looked up and found out that the window on the third floor was pitch black. I thought something was off when I noticed that. It was supposed to be time for her dinner. As soon as a maid moved past me, I stopped her and asked, “Where’s Miss Todd? Did she have dinner yet?”
“Good evening, Prince Rufus. Miss Todd said that she wasn’t feeling like eating tonight, and she asked us not to serve her dinner.”
“I see.”
When I went upstairs, I frowned. The hallway was silent. Did she get tired of singing for hours?
I knocked on the door and called out to her, but no one answered. It was as if no one was in the room.
But the sound of someone breathing indicated that she was, in fact, inside.
I furrowed my eyebrows and unlocked the door. But as soon as I opened it, a white wolf suddenly rushed out.
Rufus’ POV
The speed of the white wolf surprised me. She seized the opportunity and bolted down the corridor. When she was about to reach the stairway, I instantly transformed into a wolf and pounced on her, knocking her head to the floor. Then I bit the back of her neck and dragged her back to the room.
Frustrated, the white wolf flopped helplessly onto the carpet. A few wisps of her red hair on her head drooped. She didn’t look as lively and energetic as before.
After assuming my human form, I locked the door behind me. I lifted the shackles on the ground to have a look and saw the wolf’s skinny legs.
Well, I was too stupid. The shackles appeared to be ineffective against Sylvia when she transformed into her wolf form.
To free myself, I dropped the chains and made my way over to the white wolf. She appeared to be fast asleep as she lay with her eyes closed and her limbs stretched out on the floor.
I let out a deep sigh. The white wolf’s little ears twitched as if she was secretly paying attention to my movements.
“I won’t lock you up in the room anymore.” I had no choice but to squat down and rub the fluffy head of the white wolf.
In the end, she finally opened her eyes and wagged her tail. She even rubbed her body against my palm cutely.
I gave a little snort of laughter and reached out to touch her delicate body. “But if you dare to run away again, I will vent my anger on Blair.”
The white wolf howled angrily and pushed my hand away with her head.
I held firm and said in a commanding voice, “I’m a man of my word. If you don’t want Blair to be locked up in prison for the rest of his life, just behave yourself.”
The white wolf instantly assumed a human form and pounced on me. “Rufus, you’ve changed! How dare you threaten me?”
I wrapped my arms around her waist and scooped her up. Sylvia kept hitting and kicking my arms. Restless, she gave my chin a good, hard bite, leaving saliva and bite marks behind.
“You not only locked me up but also threatened me. I don’t want to talk to you anymore,” Sylvia whimpered. Her aggrieved expression looked real, but I knew she was probably just thinking of some tricks to pull again.
I tucked her into bed, pressed on her, and kissed her chattering lips.
“Hmm…” Sylvia struggled with a flushed face as if she still had something to say.
I held her face and deepened the kiss. As our lips touched, the restlessness and lust that had accumulated in my heart in the past few days were finally relieved.
I let go of Sylvia and wiped her lips with my thumb. Her slightly red eyes looked even more pitiful.
With a gentle voice, Sylvia pushed my chest away and stated, “You are pressing against my belly. Move away.”
Subtly shifting my weight, I reached out to protect her waist peremptorily and held her in my arms tightly. I kept kissing her as if I couldn’t kiss her enough.
“Stop kissing me. Your saliva is all over me.”
“Stop kissing me. Your saliva is all over me.”
Sylvia pouted. She sounded unhappy, but she didn’t try to yank my head away.
